Air in the low pressure clear fuel lines, due to leaking O-Rings is most likely.

No the clear plastic lines that run to the low pressure pump just above the HP pump.

They also run to the fuel filter from the tank lines. They have corrugated black plastic around them in some places.

The clips can be very brittle so do be careful when pulling them off.

This sounds like "Black death" - don't panic it's not as bad as it sounds.
Basically the injector seal is blowing and needs replacing. Not an overly difficult job but hamfisted mechanics can easily strip the retaining bolt thread which can make a straightforward job difficult.

Where are you in the country - we can probably suggest a reputable garage to do it.

You can run without covers but you'll get increased noise. No need to run without. Once it's done it'll be fine for years.

If you don't mind a drive Steve at Avantgarde motors Clevedon is highly recommended for this kind of work and is a regular on here too.

Ask the Indy to replace the 'o' rings (6 or 7 of 'em) while he's at the injector.
It won't add much to the overall cost and means you don't have the problem ahead for a few years.

If you do 'em yourself pre heat the engine bay to reduce the likelihood of the fuel line clips breaking off.
